Single player game variant of game by Ben Orlin (Math with Bad Drawings).

You play as the Dandelions. Your goal is to cover the whole meadow. The Wind (the computer) aims to leave at least one square of the meadow uncovered.
The Dandelions move first, by placing a flower (i.e., an asterisk) anywhere in the grid.

The Wind moves next, by blowing a gust in any of the eight directions (North, South,

Northwest, Southeast, and so on).

(The wind may blow only once in each direction, so once a direction is used, mark it off

on the compass rose.)

Each player gets 7 moves. Thus, a total of 7 dandelions are planted, and the wind blows

7 times (using up every direction except one).

If the dandelions and their seeds cover the whole board, then the Dandelions win. If not, then the Wind wins.
